HC Deb 17 July 1981 vol 8 c492W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, in view of the concern felt by those connected with the City's financial administration at the extent to which unqualified persons are able to establish themselves as financial advisers and obtain moneys from the investing public under doubtful conditions, whether he will give consideration to introducing legislation to control such organisations.

Mr. Eyre

I see no scope for legislation on this subject in the present Parliament, but my Department is considering the implications of current investigations.
